Instructions

Start by combining the spices and Italian dressing in a ziplock bag or shallow baking dish then add the chicken thighs. Marinate this for 30 minutes up to overnight.
When you are ready to cook, preheat your grill pan over medium high heat (or grill to 400 degrees)
Lightly oil your grill pan or grates and place chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side then flip.
Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Remove the chicken and let rest. Put your hawaiin buns on the grill for a few seconds to get them toasty!
In a small bowl mash the avocado and combine with ranch dressing. Spread thinly on your bun, top with sliced cucumber and the chicken thigh. Enjoy!

Notes

If your slider buns are not already cut, use a serrated knife to cleanly slice the buns in half. A serrated bread knife cuts through the bread nicely without tearing them apart!
Brush melted butter and ranch seasoning over the top of the rolls before grilling them for some extra flavor. It only takes a couple of extra minutes and is so worth it!
Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor. It's a great thing to prep the day before, then just grill them up the next day for easy dinners!

Sliders are one of my favorite things to serve at parties because you can easily make tons of flavor variations and be able to please the whole crowd. Serve them with potato salad or buffalo chicken dip for a great party spread.
